*1. Adjustment of the offset or gain value will not affect the resolution. In the direct indication mode, however, the
offset/gain cannot be adjusted.
*2. The offset and the gain should satisfy the following condition:
1V ≤ (Gain - Offset)
*3. The offset and the gain should satisfy the following condition:
3mA ≤ (Gain - Offset) ≤ 30mA
*4. The resolution and the input/output characteristics depend on the selected mode.
*5. If 1 or more channels use the digital filter(s), the time required for A/D conversion will be "5 ms
× number of selected channels."

Insulation method
• The photocoupler is used to insulate the analog input area from the PLC.
• The DC/DC converter is used to insulate the power supply from the analog inputs.
• Channels are not insulated from each other.
